📋 Tender Overview
Yesterday afternoon, a team led by the Minister of Public Works, Eng. Rodolfo Segovia, visited the construction area of ??the Héroes del Chaco bridge, which is located a few meters from joining Asunción with the Paraguayan Chaco, registering a general advance of more than 93%
This emblematic work, built by the Paraguayan companies CDD Construcciones and Constructora Heisecke, thus goes through its final stretch with works focused on the concreting of the central and lateral segment of the left bank (Asunción side) to join the cable-stayed with the viaduct of the North Coast.
The voussoirs were defined as 6 meters long each, in a number of 23 pairs on each main pylon, totaling 92 units.
The concreting of these pieces is carried out using the superstructures of the advance carriages that were specially designed for this work, and imported from Europe by the companies subcontracted by the Union Consortium, responsible for the execution of the project.
The closure of the main span will have 300 meters, with the possibility of a double navigation route through the main channel, and two side spans with 151.50 meters.
The total width of the bridge deck is 31.22 meters, with two 3.50-meter lanes, a 2.50-meter shoulder, plus a 1-meter widening and a 2.50-meter promenade (pedestrian or bicycle path). In every sense.
The new road infrastructure, together with the viaducts and access roads, will have a length of 7 kilometers, from the Costanera Norte roundabout to the José Falcón - Remanso bridge route, uniting, for the first time, the capital of the country with the Region Western.
